LEGO Texas State Capitol

The first-ever LEGO replica of the majestic Texas State Capitol has debuted at the Capitol Visitors Center at Capitol Square. This original work was designed and built by Ben Rollman, a lifelong LEGO collector and builder. With help from fellow members of the Texas LEGO User Group ("TexLUG"), Rollman spent more than 3 months assembling approximately 65,000 bricks into a detailed model of the 1888 statehouse.
